 From the wiki...

Setting up your EPG and Channels - a simple method which worked for me.
wget http://ontv.orcon.net.nz/listings.xml (or whatever listings.xml you 
choose)
run "mythsetup" and delete all channels (previously manually setup)
run "mythfilldatabase --file 1 7 listings.xml --do_channel_updates" 
(This puts in most of the channel info needed.)
run "mythsetup" again adding to the new channels Channel No., TV Format 
and Frequency ID
Also we manually added channels for Sky and C4 which ar not in the ONTV epg.
